Ouroboros in Futurama Episode 13: Fry & The Slurm Factory
Tuesday, July 29, 2008
Can't find the right frame online, but in episode 13 of Futurama, Fry & The Slurm Factory, there is a very clear, blatant ouroboros (snake biting its own tail) symbol.
In this episode, modeled after Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, the gang visits a Slurm factory where it is revealed that the secret ingredient is-- (no, not people, that's Soylent Cola)-- waste from a giant worm.
But, what's interesting is that in the scene depicted in the image to the right, the worm forms a perfect ouroboros by drinking Slurm from its own tail.
I can't find the exact screenshot online but here are some other representations of the ouroboros to compare. Note the crown (or horns) in some of these:
